Country and Beauty

Zhang Bin was preparing to retreat, to fight to this extent, it was not something that could be withdrawn so easily. Right now, both sides were fighting with bloodshot eyes. Both sides were frantically tearing at each other, either to survive or to die. The main thing was that both sides were now tangled up together, I have enemies in me, the enemy had me in his midst, the gigantic battlefield was split into dozens of pieces, each piece of the Qin Army had more than a thousand people, the minority numbered in the hundreds, they were currently fighting against multiple enemies tenaciously.

Life beneath the hooves of the horses was as cheap as ants. As the great army passed by, they were reduced to a pile of meat paste. However, the Qin Army did not cower, nor did she give up. This group of valiant soldiers who followed Xie Fei around the world and knew how to survive the most, participating in the battles in the Luoyang, the wars in the Cyan Plains, the wars in the Western Regions, the wars in the Ba Shu and the Jizhou, they would never call themselves elites even if they were called hundreds of battles. Their understanding of life was the most profound, and every single time, they would jump back from the line of death to let them know that if they lived, they would at least have the value of death.

Every Qin Army Cavalry Knight had a special Heaven Bombing grenade, and this Heaven Bombing grenade was relatively large. This was the result of the latest research, and the most special part of the Heaven Bombing grenade was that it did not need to ignite its fuses with open fire. Just like the future generations of string grenades, its working principle was to simply rub against each other and start a fire, like a match. Not counting the Explosion Department, just the string drawing mechanism itself was at least six pounds heavier than the original Heaven Bombing grenade. Of course, in order to increase the power of the Heaven Bombing grenade, the technicians of Institute of Martial Studies had added more gunpowder and the result was that it was a David's and this Heaven Bombing grenade weighed twenty-four kilograms. Even Du Ceng, the naturally abnormal Strength King, could only throw it thirty steps away. Ordinary soldiers simply could not throw it out.

Of course, smart technicians would call these Heaven Bombing grenade s as thunder cannons, and they would use them in the catapult machine. As long as they hung the fuze on the handle of the catapult machine during firing, the catapult machine would immediately open the fuse when they threw away the Heaven Bombing grenade, and when they arrived on the ground, there would be a violent explosion. Although it was slightly weaker than the red cannon, it was still bigger and could fire faster. It consumed a lot of energy and could not be used for long periods of time, so it had a longer firepower.

However, now these Heaven Bombing grenade were used as a weapon by others, just like the glorified bullets of the Red Army.

Accompanying these loud rumbles, Qin soldiers s could often die together with dozens of enemies.

The Capricorn was one of those who became stronger upon encountering steel. Not only did they not show any signs of fear when facing the crazy attacks of the Qin Army, they had even become more ruthless. Even the soldiers of the Shi Le Army knew that they were proud cavalry. But now they had lost the prairie and their pasture, all because of the Qin people, and now the great casualties made their eyes burn with vengeance, and the crowded battlefield was a mess, with the sounds of weapons, the screams, the battle horses, the soldiers, the orders of the officers, and so on and so forth and so forth and so forth and so forth and so forth.

Looking at the situation on the battlefield, Zhang Bin was a little dazed. In that split-second, a strange thought flashed across Zhang Bin's mind. He sat on the horse, his face was pale as a sheet, he stared at Xie Fei who had the confidence to win, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Shi Le was so scared that he quickly stepped forward and gently rocked Zhang Bin. After a long while, Zhang Bin finally woke up. Shi Le looked at the dying Zhang Bin, and felt as if a knife had twisted into his heart. However, Zhang Bin said at this moment, "Master, please don't feel sad for me. When I was young, an immortal once said that my life would not be long, and I would be safe and sound over forty cubes. I thought, I am not more than thirty-six years old this year, but I should be able to serve the Lord and seek out the future. I didn't expect to make a mistake and lose everything. "

Just as the two of them were talking, the Shi Le Army started to blow their long horn, signalling to pull back.

When Xie Fei heard the horn sound from Shi Le's army, he immediately realized that Ba Teer was about to arrive. Xie Fei shouted to the imperial guards beside him: "Shi Le has lost, Shi Le has lost to the young men of the Great Qin, follow me and attack."

Shi Le only heard the horn sound, and thus, it was an order to retreat. This was something every Shi Le army knew, because at the conclusion of the battle at the Jizhou, Zhang Bin had once told Shi Le: "The Qin Army's military discipline is strict, and once the horn sound is heard, it goes in, and the horn sound will not stop. Even if there is only one person left, the attack will not stop. If you want to win against Qin Army, then you have to discipline the military. "

The military discipline of the Shi Le Army was relatively simple. They only had one order, which they absolutely followed. That was enough.

Shi Le's army started to retreat. At the same time, Qin Army heard the news that Shi Le's army had been defeated, but she was not sure what was going on. In any case, when they saw Shi Le's army retreat, they were first puzzled, and then they heard people shouting, and they immediately believed it. On the contrary, Shi Le's army wasn't clear about the situation either. Their own army was indeed retreating, but they were immediately thrown into chaos by Qin Army's sudden charge.

When the frontline was in chaos, the centre-front was in chaos. If it weren't for Shi Le overhauling the military and relying on the fierceness of the Capricorn, they would have never retreated at all, and wouldn't have been defeated so quickly. But they had no choice but to retreat now, and not only would they be killed without merit, even their families would be beaten into slaves. If it was in the past, this would be a good thing. But now, it had become the Army's Cui Ming Rune.

At the same time, Xie Fei said to the soldier beside him: "Release the signal, order the entire wind camp to move out, the target is to attack the moat and suspension bridge of South Call City, you must definitely leave Shi Le's army outside the city."

The messenger took out a thick steel cylinder about five feet long and six inches thick. He undid the seal, fixed the cylinder to the ground, and set the fuse on fire. With a loud bang, a fireball soared into the sky, flying at least a thousand meters into the air. Then, the fireball exploded in the air, forming a huge ring of light.

In fact, this was a firearm, or a giant firework of the future. If it was at night, this firework could be seen from a telescope for more than thirty miles. It was a bit worse during the day, but it could be seen at least twenty miles away.

Xie Fei sent troops and brought along sixteen airships. If Shi Le was still as chaotic as when he first came to Jizhou, then maybe these sixteen airships could become the decisive magical equipment for the Qin Army to win, but what Xie Fei did not expect was that the Shi Le army was no longer afraid of explosions, as such, the use of this airship's troops was simply limited. Even if Shi Le's army stood still, the Heaven Bombing grenade brought along by these sixteen airships could definitely hurt Shi Le's army that was thousands of troops. Therefore, unless it was the last moment, Xie Fei would not use it.

Now that Shi Le Army had retreated, they rushed towards South Call City. If they were to bombard the city gates at a fixed location, Shi Le Army's losses would not be small.

Ten minutes or so later, sixteen airships appeared in the sky.

Ma Qiu had long ago led their troops to charge into the Qin Army's array. They wanted revenge, and wanted to take revenge for their dead brothers. The Ma Qiu roared. He had lost her weapon long ago, so he casually picked up a Qin Army spear and thrust it towards the side. The Qin soldier who was swinging the spear was struck by lightning, and fell down while clutching his chest. He glanced over and saw a Qin Army general in the distance with her bow drawn and arrow ready to shoot. As if seeing his subordinates getting pierced by arrows just now, Ma Qiu roared out in grief and indignation, and fiercely threw out the spear in her hand. The spear was filled with force, and was extremely overbearing, the cavalry in front of Qin Army raised their shield to block. The power of this Ma Qiu was simply too astonishing.

The Qin Army cavalry soldiers were terrified, they did not have time to react, the long spear pierced through, the arrow flew straight towards Ma Qiu, but the long spear pierced through his body mercilessly, the two bodies that were filled with dissatisfaction almost fell to the side at the same time. If she were to activate the special Heaven Bombing grenade right now, even if Ma Qiu managed to escape, he would still be severely injured. However, he stupidly chose to grab onto the spear in Ma Qiu's hands, without Ma Qiu even having the chance to move, if he pulled again, the arrow arrows would come at him head-on, and Ma Qiu would not be able to dodge in time, she would not even be able to block in time, thus he had no choice but to use her left arm to block the arrow.

"Swish!" When the arrow pierced the flesh, his left arm was penetrated, causing Ma Qiu's face to turn pale white. However, he soon became even more furious. Although Shi Le had shouted for them to retreat, and others did not dare to disobey, the Ma Qiu dared. He immediately shouted: "Form a formation and fight to the death, you are not allowed to retreat, I will bear the consequences!"

The Ma Qiu was a bloodthirsty person, but those who followed him were all happy. Why? She remembered back then when these people followed him to rob cities, raping and robbing, committing all sorts of crimes. However, all the troops around him received many benefits, and as the Ma Qiu said, "In my life, I have eaten all kinds of delicious food, and have slept with all kinds of women, so it would be worth it even if I die."

Just this group of fugitives broke the chance for Xie Fei to prepare to beat the crap out of them. This allowed the majority of Shi Le Army to retreat to South Call City.

Ma Qiu and his men were the only troops in Shi Le's army that were to die in battle. The injured Ma Qiu was even more violent, he relied on her armor, facing the swords and sabers that Qin Army hacked at him randomly, her pikes all disappearing, Ma Qiu's pikes were like poisonous snakes, if they did not attack, they would attack, if they did, they would attack, and his pike would inexorably devour a fresh life. This result made the leader Ji Yun to jump out of rage, but like the numerous other dead Qin soldiers s, he did not escape from the attack of the Ma Qiu.

Just at this moment, a strong current of steel surged over aggressively, leading the great general. He wore a Damascus Steel Helmet, and was clad in a Damascus Steel Armor. In his hand was a huge Damascus Steel Wolf Teeth Rod. He had a Darksteel Horse at his crotch, and his voice was like thunder. He shouted, "What a thief! Eat my rod!"

Because Ba Teer and his men did not belong to the Qin Army's six main legions, and because they were dressed in green grey leather armor to differentiate themselves from the regular army of Qin Army, the green blade in their hands had a tip and two blades in each. Ba Teer was like an evil ghost that had come from hell, the huge mace had mottled blood and flesh, mixed with yellow white viscous brain matter, and especially, there was a piece of intestines hanging at the top, which was extremely shocking.

Ba Teer swung the Wolf Fanged Mace in his hand, slashing left and right amidst the chaos with every move. Although the bright armor could block a slash from the blade, but in front of Ba Teer's Wolf Fanged Mace, it was like paper in front of Ba Teer, who was like a fierce tiger. Ba Teer was at Ba Teer's place. That day, when Ba Teer had released the Three Great Tigers, they had both raised their spears and sabers and charged into the formation. A cold light flashed as blood spurted out; wailing sounds could be heard. Screams and the long howls of the war horses resounded above the battlefield.

The Ma Qiu saw that Ba Teer was exceptionally brave, and secretly thought that he was a good man, but his fighting spirit also surged, as he rushed towards Ba Teer.

When Ba Teer's mace smashed onto the Ma Qiu's long spear, he was shocked that it was actually the Ma Qiu. Without waiting for Ma Qiu to react, Ba Teer's mace had already smashed down and Ma Qiu was drenched in cold sweat as she broke out of her pores. Her entire body was startled awake by the sudden coldness and her blurry brain seemed to become clear as she retreated.

The giant mace, weighed ninety-eight kilograms, seemed to be a living being in Ba Teer's hands, and its position was strange. Every wave took away a fresh life.

Seeing that the Ma Qiu was about to leave, how could Ba Teer be willing? With one look, Ba Teer could tell that this fellow was just a general. Ba Teer immediately took off the rope from the saddle and looked at where Ma Qiu left him.

Ba Teer was very confident in his abilities. After the rope left his hand, Ba Teer immediately displayed the unique skill of controlling the horses with one hand, the galloping war horse was turned around and galloped away under Ba Teer's control, the pitiful Ma Qiu was dragged like a dead dog by Ba Teer, until she was half dead.

The battlefield gradually quieted down.

When Zhang Bin heard this, he calmed down and asked Shi Le: Is the loss to the troops big?

Shi Le nodded and laughed bitterly, "With our seventy thousand elite troops ambushing less than thirty thousand troops and horses, our army has suffered thirty-seven thousand casualties, and over ten thousand people have their whereabouts unknown. It can be imagined that they either got captured or ran away. The overall strength of our army is now more than half of ours. If we take into account the loss of one hundred and twenty thousand soldiers at the Dragon Gate, then it can be said that our army lost everything in this battle. "

"Where's the Qin Army?" Zhang Bin asked.

Shi Le said helplessly: "A troop of fifteen thousand or so, at most not more than eighteen thousand people. When the casualty rate reaches 1: 3, I really have nothing to say in an ambush like this. "

In fact, when Shi Le gave the order to retreat, the outcome of the war had already been decided. In this battle, Xie Fei used 22,000 Qin Army cavalry as bait and attracted the main forces of the Shi Le Army. At the same time, the second army of the Qin Army located in Ba Shu attacked Xi Chuan, connecting Ba Shu and Jing Prefecture. Then, the Qin Army went down the river and occupied the Southern County of Jing Prefecture.

At the same time, the First Army of the Liaodong crossed the ocean with the help of the navy of the Qin Army and made landfall in the Xuzhou Lianyungang. At the same time, Meng En, who was at the Heavenly Haizhou, had also gathered close to seventy thousand troops at the mouth of the river, led by Li Shan and Xu Le, to attack Jiangdong. The 60,000 men from the Northern Mansion in Taishan County gathered in the First Legion and surrounded the Xuzhou Capital. The Fourth Legion came to the Henan Province under Chen An's lead.

When Sima Chi who was watching the fight from the sidelines heard the news, he was stunned. He did not take advantage of the time when Shi Le was fighting with Xie Fei in Henan Province to their deaths, but he did not expect that Xie Fei would actually join the battle at this time.

In fact, ever since Xie Fei ascended the throne, he had been considering a problem. If he attacked the Central Plains, he would be annihilated, and Xie Fei would not be able to bear it. But at the same time, if he allowed Sima Chi to develop, Shi Le would develop.

Since he had achieved great things, he naturally couldn't be soft-hearted to women. Therefore, Xie Fei had originally planned to use his own army to surround and assist the Luoyang. If the Shi Le army didn't come, then he would let them advance forward and form a front part to lure Shi Le and lure him to attack with all his strength. Of course, Sima Chi would definitely not sit back and watch the Henan Province get lost, and would definitely send out troops to support them. He would gather most of Shi Le's and Jin State's troops at the area of the Central Plains, and that way, no matter if it was Jing Prefecture or Qing Xuyang, they would both be able to defend the void, allowing Xie Fei to make a breakthrough.

From the preparation of the plan to its implementation, in the short span of six months, 180 days had passed. Xie Fei had secretly transferred from the troops to the grain reserves, so it could be said that he was fully prepared. The grain in Xie Fei's hands was not less than three million stones, which was enough to sustain a million strong army for half a year.

Xie Fei had even played a beautiful trick to deceive people.

Right now, other than the Sixth Army and the Third Army of the Sixth Army, which stood still, the Qin Army's main force of four hundred thousand men and sixty thousand Northern Residence soldiers, consisted of seventy thousand Haizhou soldiers. Xie Fei prepared to eat all of the regions north of the Yangtze River in one bite. This way, Xie Fei would do his best, and if Xie Fei had the power, he would eat the last of the Jin State's strength in one bite.

After Ba Teer arrived at South Call, he did not attack the city. On the contrary, he just ordered his men to camp outside of South Call.

One day, two days, Shi Le had actually thought that Xie Fei was saving his energy, and it wasn't until half a month later that Zhang Bin could finally taste the taste.

Zhang Bin vomited blood and fell once again. This time, Shi Le was extremely anxious.

Fortunately, after a few days of rest, Zhang Bin finally woke up. It was already winter, and the temperature was very low. But Zhang Bin was sweating profusely, Zhang Bin said while gasping for breath: "This subject has some words, I hope Master will remember them."

Shi Le said: "Sir, please speak!"

"Nan Yang has probably already been lost, the South Call cannot be beaten up anymore, my lord should quickly find a way to escape." Zhang Bin said: "Up till now, I have not seen Qin Army's walking apoplexy, from the looks of it, they have definitely bypassed South Call and went straight to Nan Yang. Although we did not hear the news, we have a feeling that all of Nan Yang's counties have already changed hands."

Shi Le didn't recover from his shock for a long time. "It can't be."

Zhang Bin shook his head and laughed bitterly. It was not as if he had such thoughts, but facts were used for eloquence. Since there was no news, it did not mean that there was a problem. According to Xie Fei's military strength, as long as he wanted to seal off the news, the communication between the Southern Sun Region's counties and the South Call would definitely be cut off. In this bloody southern migration, Shi Le had completely offended the citizens of the Central Plains. He would also not inform Shi Le.

Zhang Bin said, "Moreover, water can carry boats, and it can also overturn boats. The water user is for the people, and the boat is for the king too! "
